of course you're not male-centered, you're hot forgive yourself your own envy It's easier not to be male centered if male attention comes to you easily Just as it's easier not to care about money if you have enough money It's easy to disclaim certain accomplishments and achievements as shallow and not that meaningful not that life changing if in fact you have a strong resume We discount that which came easy and we fixate on what we've never tasted If you feel shallow or morally inferior because you experience envy or resentment I don't think you should I don't think that we're permanently painted by the ugliness of every emotion we experience Wallowing is the problem Staying there is the problem If you can look at your own emotions with a bit of remove You might find them interesting They might be obvious restatements of what society already values in which case it's an opportunity to discard them as meaningless noise Or you might find them to be a compass to your true desires Or you might find them at the very least to be an opportunity to practice self forgiveness

of course you're not male-centered, you're hot. Forgive yourself your own envy. It's easier not to be male-centered if male attention comes to you easily. Just as it's easier not to care about money if you have enough money. It's easy to disclaim certain accomplishments and achievements as shallow and not that meaningful, not that life changing if in fact you have a strong resume. We discount that which came easy and we fixate on what we've never tasted. If you feel shallow or morally inferior because you experience envy or resentment, I don't think you should. I don't think that we're permanently painted by the ugliness of every emotion we experience. Wallowing is the problem. Staying there is the problem. If you can look at your own emotions with a bit of remove, you might find them interesting. They might be obvious restatements of what society already values, in which case it's an opportunity to discard them as meaningless noise. Or you might find them to be a compass to your true desires. Or you might find them, at the very least, to be an opportunity to practice self forgiveness.
